the port applied for and fra rail line and relocation grant in october of 2010. we were notified of a $3 million award in september of 2011. the grant requires a 10% match making this a minimum of $2.2 million project. during 2012 and 2013 port staff completed pulmonary engine and work with the fra to develop project scope that fit the budget and meets the intent of the grant award. port staff applied for and received negative declaration from the city planning department and in april of 2013 and then in october 2013 we were here before the commission were you authorize us to accept and expend the grant funds. it's been a while and the holdup has been with the [inaudible] process. after the port we finally achieved compliance with [inaudible]. the fra grant us a categorical solution a few weeks ago. i just want to note this is a 16 month long process. by far the longest component of this project. finally, with it cleared the fra to provide us with a complete grant agreement last week. today's request we are here before you, as a mission, to seek authorization to enter into the track u

anything else is much smaller. 448,000 in clean air grant , 368,000 in ej grants, everything else is 200,000 over the last, approximately. the expenses you'll see on the large spreadsheet. you've got a chart that has expenses by program area and by category and it's got 2014 and 2014-15 listed. there are still some variables in this budget. the biggest variable is that labor negotiations have not yet been completed. we had to submit our budget without knowing what was going to be the result of those negotiations. obviously the budget will have to be balanced after those negotiations have been completed so it's an on-going process. our board hearing for our budget will be on june 16th with a second hearing on june 23rd if it's needed. we are being heard with general fund departments this year, not with enterprise departments, which i think is encouraging, given that we put in a request for some general fund support. the nexttep in this process is we work with the mayor's office to make this balance in its swiert before it gets submitted to the board of supervisors on june 1st and then

other times you have to ask a upper class man about grants as senior compared to grants as a freshman. use college navigator.gov look at grants for freshmen versus all graduate students. if there is big difference it means the school practices front-loading of grants. gerri: you obviously want to compare offers, right? rand try to figure out which of the offers your child is getting is best. how do you do that? >> compare them based on net price, not on net cost figure. the colleges promote net cost by subtraction from the entire cost, but financial aid package include loans which don't reduce cost. base them on net price, which subtraction, grants. that is discounted sticker price. if there are differences, less than a thousand dollars most families go whichever school has the greatest reputation or the best academic or social fit. if it is more than $5,000 they often go with the cheaper school. gerri: or the best party school is what some kids want to do, right, mark? >> yes. gerri: before you go, i want you to tell us a little bit about the best types of loans out there. what are t

we can go grant program by grant program and show who the recipients have been and we think it will be pretty representative. we are not going to highfliers but going to the most is advantage communities. the other thing that is so important is what we have done these heights of things, we have seen significant changes in behavior so it is not just those receiving the money that are benefiting but the district moving and more profound ways. neighborhoods are a good example. there are dozens and dozens of great applicants of which we could fund but we did not have the dollars available. that many of the communities that come together have a blueprint, edition, and are working together with or without our money. i wish we can fund them but there have been residual benefits from putting these programs in place. >> inc. you, mr. chairman. i yield back. >> thank you, gentlelady. >> the budget review in today, i know it was saying the right budget was not moral or physical -- fiscal. it does raise taxes and does not close loopholes and so have chosen to dollars of debt. to -- if we are going

i'm speaking in protest of granting the permit >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm tony i'm a 22nd and a half year residents i want to pass along a few things the resident are newer. some of them don't have the historic remembrance of harvey denton's and the 'coz policemen cafe it's not what's going on not club the reconvene center has a pass through they can come out of the club and pass between the buildings i've been awe w5i7b8gd by 2:00 a.m. by people yelling and screaming and talking i don't face stuart street but it makes a big difference as to its not the club it's not a question of what goes on in the club but when they leave we've been down this road before they there was other things when denton's come onto the statute street and someone was talking about other restaurant that is no bearing on strut street but it wouldn't have anything to do with stuart street. i'm not opposed to customers but on that street you have all restaurants that are closed by 10 o'clock and i do believe th

the park one is the prop 84 and the other a water conservation grant. there's been a lot of money raised by the noah valley town hall square they have additional pledges above and beyond that. we're expecting a reservoir money it's $743,000. the property four grant is pending we're having a meeting with the funding agency and encouraged by that so the funding is coming together. the reason why we're bringing the concept plan to you in order to receive that money we need to have our sequa complete but we need to post the notice and record that with the community and the state clearing house to get the grant and the commission needs to take action. we'll be coming back to the commission later in the summer and an mou with residents for noah town square they'll be contributing to the project. the project once we know about going both grants we'll come to the commission and the mou with the friends group. assuming all the funding comes together successfully we'll want to begin the detailed design work later this summer and our hope would be to break ground

so i think we have a permit that's been granted by dpw we've shown that through our california public utilities commission we have by right the ability to be in the public right-of-way. we prefer to work with the community to find a solution that will be amenable. those are tough areas to get coverage we admit that it's a challenge for us but it doesn't mitigate the fact the net is there. we've love to operate tier one but we have the frequency we have and we have many of them the customers are riffling on the frequencies and we have an obliteration to make sure those r gaps are minimized. we have a permit brow. we do ask you support dpw in that but we're willing to take on a condition to move the equipment. we do not have any additional alternatives they've been achieved. we ask you support dpw in their decision this evening. thank you >> sir anything further? commissioners the matter is submitted >> the planning department we reviewed the aesthetic of the nature did they look at those. >> i don't have much talk on those but i spoke with our wireless planner and he reviewed the previ

the grant has been phenomenal for us in that area. let's see.ould you like to mention or make a statement in reference to that? they're no longer to required to have 25% of the grant to terrorism prevention activities and that is our concern that money could be deviated for reasons other than those. i agree with the commissioner. the current system is working and i think your boss is an example of it working very well and i think it should stay in place. >> basically, i will yield back in the interest of time. >> we certainly appreciate it. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from california. witnessesou to our for being here today. i stand with boston and command you for your work. commissioner, you and i spoke before the hearing and pointed out that it was urban shield training that they had gone .hrough it was also an exercise that you held yourself. i wanted to bring to the witness and the committee's attention that one year later, we still, i whether face terrorists a broad or -- abroad or here, individuals influence by publications they

program into an all-hazards grant. i'm not convinced that the under funded grants consolidation proposal would provide sufficient support for first responders across america to build and maintain the capabilities necessary to respond as effectively as the first responders in boston and watertown did after the bombings last year. we learned from 9/11 that it is the local responders that are there on the scene. i cannot support any grant reform proposal until i'm convinced it would provide the support necessary to maintain the terrorism preparedness capabilities that we have spent building now for over a decade. also, i agree with the chairman that we cannot ignore that information sharing between federal, state, and local authorities needs strengthening. since september 11, information sharing silos that the 9/11 commissioners recommended be addressed continue to be exposed after tragic events. we need to work together to develop ways to fix that problem as soon as possible. we must also consider the economic costs of t

this is the those grants would continue through the grant cycle.but what would mean is that we would probably be able to award 50 less grants and fiscal year 2014 compared what we are estimating for 2014. >> how much do you think it would take to continue to fund the number of grants and government we were funded in the past? >> in terms of looking at this, that is approximately $92 million for the program so $92 million. >> okay, thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i was going to be my first question also. so i don't know if you got the numbers right in the same way as i see it. not you, but determined. he said 672 and that is what it is now. it will be reduced to 614. is that correct? >> yes, that is correct. >> and he spoke about spreading money around for? that is a program that seems to be working and we wonder why the humans ration with want to cut proposed a cut. and i think you are doing something unless i heard it wrong, something that we hear from all members of the committee and that is asking how can you continue to function at a lev

with regard to grants, i think that is really something we wanted consider. we have the cops program. we have the ability to put more police officers on the ground these kindseal with of issues. we also want to come up with programs that we work with the department of health and human services as the chair had suggested. this has to be something that is more than just a justice department initiative. and i think that we have the ability now to really get this in the but. -- nip this in the bud. we have a relatively small window before this potentially get even more out of control than it is. as i said, if we take a balanced approach involving agencies beyond the justice department, making sure that we are supportive of our state and also thatners, and so we educate. especially educate young people about the dangers of prescription drug use, opioid use, and the problem with heroin use, i think we can really have a significant impact on this problem. you.: >> than thank >> we thank you for raising the issue here. others have raised it. i hear it, too. we have a

i can certainly provide for information or perhaps we'll come back if awarded the grant >> thank you, ms. hay word if no comments or questions any public comment on item 2. i think i heard someone say something in the crowd there >> item 2 any public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. >> colleagues could i have it forwarded to the full board. okay we'll take that without objection.. madam clerk, can you call item 3 >> it's a hearing with the transportation entities to discuss the late night transportation plan. >> thank you. i requested this hearing today on late ethnic transportation which is a very important i think topic for the city to discuss this. the purpose of today is hearing is talk about the current state of late night transportation or the logic therefore and what we can do to improve it. san francisco doesn't shut down at rush hour and sometimes, it seems like portion of our transportation system seems like it does there's a belief that no one needs to get around once the daytime working day comes to a close. at today's hearing e hearing we'llenter hear from

the rest were i am grants. and if you are an immigrant by yourself, your father, your granted gary, your great grandfather was an immigrant. immigrants are moving energy they come here with wonderful experience, with a unique language. the somalis. kurdish did. they come with their experience and an energy, a new energy that revives. whenever they come to an area, that may make that area talk about what is going on, the food, the tradition, the cultures that they have. >> you talk about the moving energy. nick says immigrants are some of the hardest working people. tony, he talked about resilience and rockbie tweeted as an immigration attorney, my clients are most challenged by language access issues and cultural differences sand mitaki, iranian dissent. it's a shared commitment to sharing finite resources. it's about economics and speaking about sharing, you were the one talking about community. look. we are both sons of pakistani immigrants. what's interesting is oftentimes in the community, when they want to

first, it cuts pell grants, that is grants to college students, by $145 billion. it also very significantly makes aid, help grant aid, unavailable to part-time students. and i want to focus on that for just a second. because this is something we see over and over in our districts again. single moms or working parents, men or women, who are trying to balance a job and go to school at the same time. they're trying to take two or three classes maybe, make their way, still be able to work to support their families, but also go to college and finish off, slowly get their degree. this budget would not allow them to access pell grants. it would make achieving their goal of getting their education, maybe training for another kind of job, it would make that impossible for millions of americans. the cuts to pell grants are especially significant because in states like mine, in texas, since 2003 tuition has gone up an average of 104% for thousands and thousands of texans. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for an additional 30 seconds. mr. castro: so when the republicans

>> exactly. >> i am just trying to remind you that granting conditional granting a permit tonight does not mean that she just gets a permit to do whatever she wants, it will require the authorization from all of the city departments. >> so, fire, health, city. >> and yes, everyone. >> electrical. >> okay. >> that is just checking. >> and we have had instances where the business has not opened yet, but we provided the permit. >> right. >> okay. >> and good evening, i am luna and i am a native of san francisco and i started a business in 1979 and one of my last venues which was the old caesar's palace and i let that place go about five years ago and now i am ready to take another location, 1501 folsom and looking to get a liquor license and entertainment and trying to bring in what i did, where i ran that for 8 and a half years and i brought in entertainers once a month, and good headliners and i brought in a nice crowd and i never had a problem at that location. and i have a clean record. i am also trying to get a restaurant on the roof top. but that is not going to kill this deal,fy do

madam clerk, call item 2 >> the resolution authorizing the rec and park department to accept a grant up to one hundred and 50 thousands. >> president supervisor chiu chiu is the author i presume he's on his way down now. can you call the office? actually madam clerk why don't we have a quick item instead of item 2 call item 3 and we'll take item 2 next >> item 3 the resolution exempting certain locations from the police irregularity arcadia. >> i along with the supervisor breed are the co- authorizes it comes up when we discover outdated and odd code sections and basically, what this b will do is allow self businesses one in supervisor breed's district and one in my that are attempting to expand and this he - we have a police code section that dramatically restricts arcadia games in neighborhoods districts by denying them as used babylon depending on on the square footage you can only have a small number of arresting can do games this goes back to the day with arcadia games led to no good behavior or something like that. we know there's a lot of great businesses that can use arcadia

i'd be in favor of granting the request. when i walk around and see actual trees with posting on them it does make me stop and look at them. if i walk by a pole i'm not thinking about a tree so that's where i'm going. >> i would agree, but slightly different verbiage i would use. i think that the department did do quite a bit of notice. unfortunately they didn't quite conform specifically to the code and on that basis i would support that. >> i agree. >> i'm going to move to grant the jurisdiction request. >> mr. >> we have a motion to grant this jurisdiction request. commissioner fung. >> i. >> vice president is absent. president lazarus. >> i. >> commissioner honda. >> i. >> thank you. the vote is four, zero. jurisdiction is granted and these requestors now have a five day appeal permit to appeal this permit, which end this coming monday. thank you. >> thank you. item number five was dismissed, we now move on to item number six. this is for the property at 4848 17th street. we'll start with the appellants, who have seven m

the rest would be filled in by other grant opportunities whether it's prop k grants we would come in with other agencies as well as other sources of grants from the federal and state government. for example we have a caltrans planning grant we're hoping to receive to fund the freeway management work. tidda -- as sponsors of treasure island program would fund us as we move toward design and implementation of that program. we're looking to shift consultant cost to staff where we're seeing up to 50% savings by doing so in some areas, and then the planning department and mta have agreed to help fund at least one position which we're appreciative of. this is the modeling position in the technology development and data analysis division to fund the senior modeler. we have a city budget request in for vision zero support that we hope to see happen. >> and could you just go a little deeper on the shift of consultants to staff? >> sure. right. in many of the divisions over the years and we found it appropriate to rely on captainant report and communications and we hired out for that support.
